An Experience That Changed Me

An experience that changed me First of all, let me introduce myself. I grew up in a tender and caring family. I love my family, especially my baby sister. Before my sister's birth, I was the only child in my family and I became their "center of attention".I was always surrounded with love and attention. I am well- bread, good-natured and positive girl who is addicted to music. In 2007 I had the opportunity to participate in the project Vivas which is an international festival for youth in ''Casa Montagna di Ferriere Valnure'' in Ferriere Italy. The children in Macedonia who had participated on Zlatno Slavejce, (a festival of children's songs) , had the chance to participate on this festival. The founder of the festival ''Vivas'' is Mr. Carlo Devoti, a former waterlo Italian national team player. The founder of this festival have merged sports, music, painting art, dances, ecology and healthy way of living. The friendship with the children of the festival Zlatno Slavejce to me was good base to wish days with them and with other children from different nations that I met in Italy Now I will tell you how I was spending time there. The object was located in mountainous place Pianceza, Ferierre. Every day after breakfast we had a meeting and we discussed how to spend the day. The object had a courts for tennis, beach- volleyball, soccer, aerobics and it had a pool, so every day we played different sports and we learned something about them. Each day, one group lay the tables at meal times, keep the place tidy and organized an original “wake up” call to start their National day. On their National Day, the group organizes arts activities and games during the day as well as the evening entertainment. That gave to all of us, a chance to meet with the kids from the other countries, and learn about theirs country’s customs and traditions. We had a workshops too where we made traditional clothing about dolls, jewelry, souvenirs, greeting cards and then exchanged...

...How Has Field ExperienceChanged/Affected me?
If someone were to ask me about five years ago if I would consider teaching as a career, I would have looked at them like they were crazy. I never thought I would even begin to have an interest in teaching.
It was not until my freshman year in high school that I knew I wanted to be a teacher; better yet, a Band Director. I had always had a passion for music but never actually thought about pursuing it as a career. It was not until my mom and I sat down and talked about my college career path. I was having a hard time deciding what I wanted to do when I “grew up”. It was then that my mom suggested that I be a High School Band Director because of my passion for not only music but also marching band. I then gave it some thought and knew for sure that that was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.
Recently however, I have been questioning my major. I have caught myself wondering, “Is this really what I want to do for the rest of my life?” and “Do I really want to be a Band Director?” I started second guessing my choices and really starting to think that maybe I do need to change my major.
Since joining the Teacher Cadet program and going through Field Experience, I have completely made up my mind. After spending three weeks in a band room surrounded by kids who look to me for musical help and advice, I absolutely, without question, know...

...to be an important position of responsibility. It would be an honour for me to carry out this role and fulfill all its duties to the best of my ability.
I feel that the role of a prefect is perfectly suited for me. This position would allow me to give something back to the school after four years of being guided by different prefects and teachers of Greensprings School. This would give me an opportunity to help out pupils from the school like prefects have helped me. In return, the experience gained would be great. It would allow me to become a mature and a responsible person carrying out important duties. It would be a privilege to be representing the pupils in the school and helping out the teachers. I believe I am a great candidate. I am punctual, with an attendance record of 100% last term which marks me out as a reliable candidate who would not let the school down.
If given the position of prefect, I will be representing the school, the teachers and my peers and will have to set a good example by presenting the right image. I am smart in appearance, very social and attentive. I interact with lots of people in different years each day, so I feel that if I became a prefect I would be able to approach pupils from year groups younger than me and I always try to have a friendly smile on my face. I would work well with other...

...What is a good manager ?
A Manager is the person responsible for planning and directing the work of a group of individuals, monitoring their work, and taking corrective action when necessary. For many people, this is their first step into a management career. A manager's title reflects what he/she is responsible for. An Operations Manager is responsible for the operations of the company. There are many management functions in business and, therefore, many manager titles. Regardless of title, the manager is responsible for planning, directing, monitoring and controlling the people and their work.
What makes a Good Manager
Good managers are essential to any successful organisation. An exceptionally good manager achieves a hard working, productive and effective workforce that punches above its weight in its performance.
Good managers attract exceptional staff; they make the organisation a preferred employer; they help to increase market share; add to profits and surpluses, and reduce costs. Their staff are engaged, committed and ‘go the extra mile’.
Managers, however, dance on a fault line - they either have the behaviours that inspire followers to do what they otherwise may not be willing to do, and without creating any psychological distress, or they do not and the costs will escalate and ripple for a long time
So what makes a good manager?
A key to successful management is the relationship between the manager and his or her staff. It’s the manner in which managers...

...An Experience That Changed My Life

Seven years ago I gave birth to a healthy boy who changed everything about me and my
life. Before his birth I was an optimistic person who only thought of the fun things that would
make my day. I was an immature girl without a care in the world. After his birth I grew up,
stopped partying, and took on the responsibility that was gifted to me.
It has not been a breezy walk along the shores of the beach, but more like a steep climb
up a precipitous and rocky mountain. Yet having my son is not something that I would give up
no matter how hard it is. Before the birth of my son I was an optimistic person who only thought
of the fun things that would make my day. I was an immature girl without a care in the world. I
remember spending my days with friends and traveling between our beautiful islands of the
Northern Marianas, not worrying about anything or about spending too much of my parents’
money. I enjoyed spending my summer days at the beach walking along the shores, collecting
sea shells, and going for a swim. I enjoyed going to parties just to enjoy time and eat all the
delicious food I could put on my plate. I enjoyed going to festivals to play games, watch dance
competitions, and spend my money on food that were delicious at each vendor. I...

2. What part of Texas did the Caddoans occupy? What cultural advances entitle them to be called the “Romans of Texas Indians”? What did the Caddoans contribute of importance to our vocabulary? In the mixed-pine-oak-hickory woodlands of east Texas- Their religious and political organization (they built places of worship, their war strategies were really good, they spilt up into three affiliated groups to cover more areas) –the Spanish later turned the Caddo work “techas” to “friend” and then into “Tejas” and then later changed to “Texas” but also the the Caddo word established our states motto “Friendship”
3. Why does the author call the Atakapans, Karankawas, and Coahuiltecans the least culturally developed of Texas Indians? They had limited Resources due to living on the coastal region that was difficult for agriculture and only limited to hunting, fishing and gathering. Also they moved around a lot rather than in one location, and they were limited in supplies to make other means of storage( ceramics, or baskets)
4. What is the origin of the Atakapans name? How did they use alligators? Why might these Indians be especially significant to us at Kingwood College? “Eaters of men” which they got for their cannibalism that they...

...Introduction:
In life we all have something that has changed the way we perceive things. Most things that change a person’s perception happens to be an experience that they have gone thru and learned from. In my case it wasn’t necessarily an experience, it was a dog that changed my perception on life. My mind and heart was opened in a whole new way. I never thought I could love an animal just as much as I loved the people in my life. I always thought it was strange that pet owners loved and treated their pets the same way they treated their children. My perception on dogs or pets in general definitely changed. Throughout this paper you will see why I am a totally different person because of a dog that entered my life.
People say a man’s best friend is his dog, and a women’s best friend is her jewelry. I agreed with this statement until 1996- well into my adulthood. In 1996, I became married and soon found myself a dog owner, (my husband’s best friend was his dog). At first I was really skeptical about letting a dog into my life, being that I had never owned a dog and never cared to. My mind was soon changed, when I met Tacha (that was her name). Tacha was an Akita bread dog. Akitas are dogs who are native to the country of Japan. They are usually vicious by nature and used as hunting dogs. All of the above details made my skepticism grow even larger; I was a new dog owner, soon to be...

...The black pirate hat danced around in the air, weaving and bobbing to some Disneyland music. Attached to it was my head and the rest of me, being dragged along on this wild ride. The only sounds I heard were ones of trumpets soaring higher and higher, trying to hit an absurdly high note. The pirate hat and the warm Florida night had taken control, and my self-consciousness went right out the window. I danced, not greatly or with any skill whatsoever, but I danced. For that one night, at the end of our trip to Florida and Walt Disney World, I enjoyed life in a way I never have before.
Earlier that evening, I had wandered around the hotel, feeling lonely and bored. My roommate and I had planned on visiting the theme parks, but his father, a chaperon, had taken him out for a surprise birthday dinner. So I was left alone to wander. Feeling in the mood to play some video games, I headed out to the arcade with a crisp ten dollar bill. Fifteen minutes later, I walked out, penniless, after quickly finding out that I should never get behind the wheel of a race car. I don't believe I even managed to complete one lap, let alone finish. On the way back, I ran into some friends of mine, who had returned from dinner to get their tickets for the theme parks. Seeing how lonely I was, they invited me to go with them. I agreed, happy to do anything.
We got our tickets, and decided to go to the Magic Kingdom for the fireworks and the parade. When we arrived...
